News Summary
The most recent news release, dated December 15, 2025, reports initial surface and underground sampling results from the South Block of Kingsmen Resources’ Almoloya Gold/Silver Project in Chihuahua, Mexico. The company collected 527 samples from historic underground workings and surface, with 28 samples returning gold values greater than 6.16 g/t. The highest individual assay was 34.09 g/t gold over 0.5 meters from a surface sample. Other notable underground samples included 12.84 g/t Au over 0.7m, 16.14 g/t Au over 0.5m, and 15.76 g/t Au over 0.6m.
President & CEO, Scott Emerson, expressed enthusiasm for these initial results, stating they confirm an expansive mineralization system at Almoloya and point to exciting new targets for continued growth and value creation. The scientific and technical disclosure was reviewed and approved by Kieran Downes, Ph.D., P.Geo., a director and Qualified Person.
Material Impact
This news is a positive, but routine, step in the exploration lifecycle for Kingsmen Resources. The high-grade gold samples (up to 34.09 g/t Au) are encouraging and confirm the presence of significant gold mineralization at the newly optioned Almoloya project. This adds another layer of prospectivity to the company’s portfolio beyond its primary Las Coloradas project.
However, the results are from surface and underground sampling, not core drilling which provides better structural and continuity information. While these results help define targets for future drilling, they do not yet delineate a mineral resource or provide information on the width and continuity of economic mineralization at depth. The news is in line with expectations for early-stage exploration on a historically productive, but underexplored, land package. It builds on the narrative of expanding the company’s presence in the Parral district and validates the initial decision to acquire the Almoloya option, but it is not a “game-changer” on the scale of a significant drill discovery that would lead to a material re-rating.
The timing of this release follows closely on the heels of the December 3, 2025 news reporting a high-grade gold-rich silver discovery at Las Coloradas from drilling. This indicates continuous exploration progress across their projects, which is positive for an exploration company.
Catalysts
– Almoloya Exploration: Look for details on follow-up exploration plans at Almoloya, including any planned ground geophysics, trenching, or, more importantly, the commencement of a drill program to test the continuity of the high-grade surface mineralization at depth.
– Las Coloradas Remaining Assays: The September 24, 2025 news release mentioned that the company was awaiting assays from eleven additional holes from the initial 12-hole drill program at Las Coloradas. The December 3, 2025 news provided results for hole LC-25-008. Investors should watch for the remaining assay results from the Las Coloradas program, particularly for Target 2, as noted in the Dec 3 news. These could have a more material impact than surface sampling.
– Financing Deployment: Monitor how the proceeds from the recently closed $4.15 million private placement (November 24, 2025) are being deployed, specifically for advancing the Las Coloradas and Almoloya projects.
– Definitive Almoloya Agreement: The option to acquire Almoloya was based on an LOI (July 9, 2025) and completed (Oct 24, 2025). Ensure the definitive agreements are fully in place and that the initial payment obligations are met without issue.
Materiality Conclusion
The high-grade gold samples from the Almoloya project are a positive development, indicating strong exploration potential on a newly acquired asset. This news enhances the overall prospectivity of Kingsmen Resources and validates their strategy of consolidating historical mining districts. However, as these are surface and underground sampling results, not core drill intercepts, they are considered early-stage. While encouraging, they do not yet represent a significant resource discovery or provide the definitive scale and continuity required for a material re-rating of the company beyond routine exploration progress. Therefore, the news is a Routine – Positive event that supports ongoing value creation but is not immediately game-changing.
